ILU 1.7, which fixes many bugs in ILU 1.6, and provides new support
for the programming language Python, is now available via the
links from ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html, or directly
as ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/1.7/ilu-1.7.tar.gz.

ILU is a system for defining and using language-independent
object-oriented interfaces.  It can be used to define and implement
the API's for reusable software libraries.  It is also, due to its
implementation design, a ``distributed object'' system, which can be
used to interlink code written in either C, C++, Modula-3, Common
Lisp, or Python.  It can be used with any mix of these languages as an
object-oriented RPC system to build client-server systems.  It can
understand interface descriptions written in OMG IDL ("CORBA" IDL),
and produces CORBA-compliant language mappings for ANSI C.  Xerox is
providing it free of charge for any use, including commercial
products.
